Processor and Microarchitecture Design

This group gathers pioneers of computer systems organization whose primary contribution was the internal design of a processor itself, including instruction set design, pipelining, superscalar and out of order execution, branch prediction, and other microarchitectural techniques that determine how a single processor core executes instructions. It follows the Processors and pipelining strand of the ACM Computing Classification System's Computer systems organization area. Their shared work is what happens inside one processor core, as distinct from how multiple processors or machines are organized together, the surrounding system architecture, or the semiconductor technology the processor is fabricated in.
